• Improved autofocus and tracking focus

Newer Version Available. While the D5 was Nikon’s flagship pro-grade DSLR at the time of its release, its predecessor, the , represents a substantial update to this camera.

Major Upgrade. The Nikon D5 offers several notable improvements over the D4s, including a new 20.8MP FX sensor with higher sensitivity, an all-new autofocus system, 12 fps continuous shooting, and 4K video recording.

Sensitivity You Didn’t Know You Needed. The all-new 20.8MP full-frame sensor is paired with an EXPEED 5 processor to give you a native ISO range of 100-102,400. That not fast enough for you? Don’t worry; it’s expandable to 50-3,280,000! Now you can shoot those glamour portraits lit by the glow of your smartphone in your pocket.

Fast Autofocus/Frame Rate. The D5 boasts a new Multi-CAM 20K AF system that offers 153 phase-detection AF points with 99 cross-type sensors. However, please note that only 55 of those points are selectable. Further improvements to Nikon’s tracking focus system promise even better continuous-focus performance. Pair that with the 12 fps continuous shooting frame rate and 200-frame RAW buffer limit, and you’d have to work hard to not get your shot.

4K Video. The D5 isn’t just for sports photography; it’s capable of in-camera 4K UHD recording at 24/25/30p (DX crop only), Full HD up to 1080/60p, and uncompressed output to an external recorder via HDMI mini input. Stereo audio can be captured in-camera or externally via 1/8-inch mic input, while a separate 1/8-inch headphone input and 20-step manual adjustment enables precision audio monitoring. Still no focus peaking or zebra warnings, so we recommend using an external electronic viewfinder/video monitor with those features.

Professional Build. As you’d expect, the pro-grade D5 is built like a beast. The magnesium-alloy body features built-in vertical grip, elaborate weather-sealing, multiple customizable buttons, bright 0.72x optical pentaprism with 100% viewfinder coverage, and a EN-EL18a battery life rated at 3780 shots per charge. Notably new to the D5 is a large touch-sensitive 3.2-inch rear LCD with familiar smartphone-like navigation.

Dual CompactFlash Only. The D5 is sold in two different memory-card configurations, and this is the dual version. XQD cards are not compatible with this version of the D5. You can find the XQD-compatible version of this camera .

Wireless Slave Flash Capability. The D5 offers support for the wireless control, but it requires the use of the . This enables the camera and flash to wirelessly control up to 6 groups of flashes from up to 98 feet away, free from line-of-sight restrictions.

Please Note: If you’re using the or , set the HDMI Output to LIMITED in the camera’s Advanced HDMI Settings menu.
